[Laron]

Lofoten is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway, known for its distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. Though lying within the Arctic Circle, the archipelago experiences one of the world's largest elevated temperature anomalies relative to its high latitude

Has anyone been there? My favorite season is winter so this locale is very appealing! It reminds me somewhat of Queenstown in New Zealand.

Well, there's winter and there's WINTER. It is beautiful, but I'll opt for summer, which probably is more like my winter. lol

Yes it is very beautiful, to look at, but my old bones wouldn’t like the reality of the temperature.

No, but friends been there and they say its stunningly beautiful. But the winter is veeeeeery cold they say. Can you handle minus 25 degrees or something like that so you can go in the winter!

Do you realise that for that mountain to look that way, a massive slab of rock upended with the grain of the rock pointing vertically upward, in bygone unfathomable aeons of time it must have once been to a crustal pie party?
